575 Eventful Winter
It was the beginning of winter again, and at this time last year, there was a miserable storm in the city, and the new army and government officials were arresting people everywhere, which made the people panic.
This year, the prefect has finally stopped a little, and he should be able to have a good winter. But the people in the city were disappointed again, and the prefect did not toss, but the nearby farmers did.
Hebei Road, especially near the Daimyo Mansion, has three main crops. The most is the mulberry tree, this thing is more resistant, drought and waterlogging are not afraid, as long as the silkworm does not get sick, the yield of raw silk is basically reliable.
The second most is rice, the habit of eating noodles in the north and eating rice in the south in the later generations has not yet been fully formed in the Song Dynasty, and the main grain in the north is millet, followed by wheat. However, Hebei is full of rivers and rivers, and there are relatively many paddy fields, and the yield of rice per mu is higher than that of millet, so there are more farmers who plant it.
The third most abundant was originally millet, but now it has become a white stack flower. Although planting new crops is very risky, there are many farmers who are afraid to try it because they cannot resist the preferential policies and loans given by the government. Especially in the dry land where the yield is not high, there is no hope left and right, so it is better to give it a try.
The ancients are not clouds, and they starve the bold to death, and this attempt has really been done. The harvest period of white stacked flowers, rice and millet is about the same, the difference between morning and evening is less than 20 years, and the harvest can basically be completed before September, and the result is that some people are happy and some are worried.
The vast majority of farmers who planted white stacks of flowers were overjoyed and sold their lint at the purchase price in the contract, getting more money than growing millet and rice.
And this money is net income, the autumn class will be deducted at the time of acquisition, and next year's spring class will depend on the different types of crops planted and then pay separately, if you continue to plant white stacked flowers, you don't have to pay it.
A small number of peasant households who grow rice are also happy, because their family's output this year has increased by 20 percent out of thin air, and even if the autumn and spring classes do not reduce a penny, the extra 20 percent of the grain can be better off whether they keep it for themselves to eat or sell it for money.
Why is there such a difference? There's only one reason, fertilizer!
Most of the farmers who have increased their incomes live near the daimyo castle, and they all participate in literacy classes in which a group of children are the masters, and the classes teach not only literacy but also how to use soil and fertilizers.
Most of the people are reluctant to spend money on soil fertilizers and fertilizers, and they also laugh at those little gentlemen who don't know how to pretend to understand on paper. Everyone has planted crops for several lifetimes, how can they listen to a group of children who have not grown all their hair pointing fingers.
But the other half of the people were more obedient, bought fertilizer, threw the fertilizer in exchange for money into the ground according to the method taught by Mr. Xiao, waited for two months with anxiety, and then cracked their mouths and smiled.
They are all old ways of planting crops, and they don't have to wait until the harvest season, as soon as the crops are pumped, they will know how to grow this year, and then they will be able to shoot how much grain they can beat in the autumn. Listening to Mr. Xiao's words and disobedience are completely two endings, the former laughs, the latter cries!
Some of the farmers who are far away from Fucheng also use chemical fertilizers, and they are lucky enough to be next to the fields where they are planting white stacked flowers. White stacks are sown more than a decade earlier than rice and wheat, and chemical fertilizers must be used in accordance with the contract.
The farmers are not stupid, the two acres are next to each other, and they dare not believe in these strangely named things, but they must have the heart to grab a few handfuls and try a small piece in their own fields.
Didn't the later generations say that practice is the only criterion for testing the truth? It's a mule or a horse, and you can understand it all as soon as you walk it, and you don't have to listen to anyone.
The farmers who tried out the difference immediately ran to the nearby county town, found the legendary rural supply and marketing cooperative, and hurriedly bought some Heda Zhuang or fertile field powder, which really worked.
As a result, most of the farmers who did not use chemical fertilizer were not very happy, and they did not fail to harvest, and the harvest was about the same as last year. But people always like to compare, and if everyone is about the same, no one will say anything. Now some people have overcharged 20% of their opinions, and they will come immediately, not suffering from inequality.
The uneven light is not enough to make any substantive moves, and it is a big deal to buy some fertilizers. However, the problem of buying fertilizer comes as soon as there are many people, the fertilizer factory is not so high-yielding, and most of the fertilizer has to be reserved for the contract growers of white stacked flowers, and the excess can be sold. Even if all the soil urea and soil potash fertilizer are counted, the supply is still in short supply.
This time it was broken, Zhu Bajin's rural supply and marketing cooperatives were smashed three in one day, all the fertilizers stored in the warehouse were robbed, and the employees were injured.
Fortunately, Zhu Bajin's apprentices have rich social experience, and when they saw that the farmers of the whole village and the whole clan were coming, they ran away with their soft and account books, and they loved to smash and rob casually, and no matter how big the hooligans were, they couldn't provoke the mob.
Several supply and marketing cooperatives can't save much fertilizer, and the farmers have begun to fight the idea of supply and marketing cooperatives near Fucheng again, but they are not irritable enough to dare to come to the vicinity of Fucheng to smash and rob, but only gather at the door of the supply and marketing cooperatives to make noise.
Zhu Bajin didn't expect this to happen at all, for fear that someone would smash and loot the store again, and he couldn't command the new army, so he hurriedly came to ask Lord Shuai Si for help.
"The new army can't shoot unarmed civilians, do you still think that the reputation of this official is not bad enough, and you plan to add icing on the cake?"
Hong Tao has been living more comfortably these days, and there are three women who serve endocrine and have a good temper. After listening to Zhu Bajin's complaint, he neither reprimanded him for being unfavorable, nor did he think about suppressing the crusade.
“…… The subordinates thought that this case could not be opened, if it became a habit of supply and marketing, the social disaster was coming, and the villain would not be in the way if he had a loss, so he was afraid of mistaking the adult's business. ”
Zhu Bajin couldn't think of any other way to resolve the popular uprising than sending troops to suppress it, mainly because the horses were used to killing people in Huangzhou, and every time something happened, it seemed to be particularly effective.
"My lord, I have a, He Dazhuang and Feitian Flour should stop first, even if nothing happens, the official will stop producing chemical fertilizers, and now is just right." It's okay not to mention it, but this one, yes, I want to buy it.
"This, this ......" Zhu Bajin was a little dizzy, in order to promote chemical fertilizers, he deliberately asked himself to find apprentices to establish rural supply and marketing cooperatives, how can he say that he will not do it, he must give a reason.
"You send a few apprentices to Handan to find Master Gao, and ask him to arrange to learn the method of making soil urea, and then produce and sell it in the supply and marketing cooperative. Although it is not as strong as fertilizing the field, it is also stronger than using pure farm fertilizer. Let's make do with it, you won't forget what we're here for, right? ”
Hong Tao is not angry, the fertilizer plant does not have the capacity to produce ammonium sulfate and calcium ammonium nitrate, and all the production capacity will be used to produce ammonium oil medicine before next winter, and it is still unknown whether it will be enough.
"Your Excellency is ready!" Zhu Bajin immediately took his mind back from the supply and marketing cooperative, and his face was full of solemnity.
"It's not quite ready, but it's pretty much there. Eight catties, I have been busy with this official all these years, and it is rare to go back to my home once, and it is hard work. ”
The children have been following the caravan out of the Daimyo Mansion one after another these days, without a single farewell, not even a second look. The rest can't go, including followers like Zhu Bajin.
Hong Tao didn't have the ability to arrange a suitable retreat for them, these people all had families and jobs, and the monks couldn't run the temple. But he doesn't want to just mess around like this, some things should be arranged, and he will do his best to obey the destiny of God.
"Adults are serious, Bajin has lived most like a person over the years, just like the children said that he is a useful person, not hard, it is a blessing ......" Hearing this, Zhu Bajin immediately felt that something was wrong, respectful, honestly afraid, but I really don't know why.
"I have a letter here, it's best not to open it first, and then look at it when you encounter something that you can't get by, don't ask too much about the rest, and doing everything you need to do is the greatest reward to the official."
This letter is Hong Tao's last move, Zhu Bajin is the executive director of the Shanchuan Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the secret forces and doorways are all over several cities. If the situation changes, he is the most capable of covering the evacuation of some people, and he can run out as much as he can.
But this matter can't be said in advance, and so far I don't know who is the person from the Imperial City Division, and I have forbidden Wang Shi to investigate this matter. Let's take a gamble, Zhu Bajin has been closely monitored by Wang Shi for more than half a year before joining the Shanchuan Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he is the least suspected.
